puidokas is an unknown quantity at this point

Or just drain some of it out. Should be a white plug somewhere under your front bumper.

rice4lyfe will become famous soon enough

since our cars (like most common cars nowadays) have a closed cooling system, it is basically designed to catch any expanding/overflowing coolant that system cannot handle. Just make sure you dont have it topped off because you still need some room for expansion. But you should be fine..
